From SoCal...
« on: June 27, 2017, 06:01:51 PM »
Just wanted to introduce myself... first time posting but been a lurker for awhile. I just recently purchased my very first guitar, a Taylor 224ce-k. I'm a new player, about 3 months now and going strong. I know I got a lot to learn but enjoying every minute of it. Love reading all the info from this forum, lots of knowledgeable people around here...

Welcome. You've got yourself a wonderful new guitar to learn on. Nice thing is, it's a quality life-time guitar too. Congrats!

Thanks Taylorgirl! Literally took a month of back and forth to my local store. Went a bunch of times until I found (what I thought) was a unique guitar... in my price range. Just in love with it right now...

Enjoy the journey!

@ strumming- I hear the older a guitar gets, the sweeter the sound!

@ socalsurf- close to Costa Mesa, where abouts are you?

Thanks everyone! I really like it here... it's like a Taylor Guitar resource center, of sorts.  8)
